In response to ongoing concerns about the COVID-19 virus, Gov. Greg Abbott has asked all state agencies to postpone all state agency-related conferences until further notice. Therefore, the TBCE will cancel the "Stakeholder Discussion on Chiropractic Involvement in Stem Cell Treatments" previously set for April 1, 2020. Further, in response to COVID-19 and in light of recommendations from the Office of the Governor and the CDC, the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners is expanding its current remote work policy for most employees. Rest assured that although most staff will not be physically present in the agency's office, we have taken measures to ensure that all staff can still perform their duties. Calls and emails to the office and individual staff members will still be received and returned. Although the agency can still receive mail, we will process and disseminate it to staff only about twice per week. Therefore, we encourage licensees and the public to rely on email, as it will be far more reliable and more importantly, opened every day. We appreciate your consideration and understanding during this time of heightened awareness and concern. Respectfully, Patrick Fortner Executive Director.
